Mechanical impedances of lungs and chest wall in the cat

Z. Hantos, A. Adamicza, E. Govaerts and B. Daroczy
Kalmar Laboratory, Jozsef Attila University, Szeged, Hungary.

In nine anesthetized and paralyzed cats, the mechanical impedances of the total respiratory system (Zrs) and the lungs (ZL) were measured with small-volume pseudorandom forced oscillations between 0.2 and 20 Hz. ZL was measured after thoracotomy, and chest wall impedance (Zw) was calculated as Zw = Zrs-ZL. All impedances were determined by using input airflow [input impedance (Zi)] and output flow measured with a body box [transfer impedance (Zt)]. The differences between Zi and Zt were small for Zrs and negligible for ZL. At 0.2 Hz, the real and imaginary parts of ZL amounted to 33 +/- 4 and 35 +/- 3% (SD), respectively, of Zrs. Up to 8 Hz, all impedances were consistent with a model containing a frequency-independent resistance and inertance and a constant-phase tissue part (G-jH)/omega alpha, where G and H are coefficients for damping and elastance, respectively, omega is angular frequency, and alpha determines the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts. G/H was higher for Zw than for ZL (0.29 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.04, P less than 0.01). In four cats, the amplitude dependence of impedances was studied: between oscillation volumes of 0.8 and 3 ml, GL, HL, Gw, and Hw decreased on average by 3, 9, 26, and 29%, respectively, whereas the change in G/H was small for both ZL (7%) and Zw (-4%). The values of H were two to three times higher than the quasistatic elastances estimated with greater volume changes (greater than 20 ml).
